Bellator 34 caps season off with history-making event

The timeless principle that “all good things come to an end” was on display Thursday night in Hollywood, Florida as previously undefeated female fighter Megumi “Mega Megu” Fujii fell for the first time in her 22-fight career. Fujii was beaten via split decision at Bellator 34 by 10-1 Zoila Frausto who as a result became the promotion’s first women’s champion. The win was Frausto’s fifth in a row.

Also walking away with a point-based victory and an attached-title was Bellator middleweight champ Hector Lombard. The 27-2 Cuban, who hasn’t lost since November 2006 to Gegard Mousasi, retained his Bellator middleweight belt by defeating 185-pound contender Alexander Shlemenko in the evening’s main event. Shlemenko had been riding a six-fight win streak entering the bout. Interestingly, Lombard took a page from Eddie Alvarez’s book and used the opportunity provided after his victory to call out Strikeforce 185-pound champion Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza.
